Fitbit Flex Paracord Bracelet

thingiverse

I have a bad experience with rubber bracelets that come with Fitbit Flex; they keep ripping in half and I've had to replace them three times already. Replacing them all the time becomes unnecessary once you switch to a paracord bracelet, which also happens to be way cooler than its rubber counterpart. If I feel like customizing it further down the line, I might add a window so that I can view the status lights on my Fitbit, but even without one, the lights shine through the printed design quite clearly. To print this paracord holder for your Fitbit Flex, start by printing two separate pieces. Next, braid your paracord and then insert it halfway along the middle tunnel where it will hold onto both side channels; finish the braid on the other side of the channel. Place your Fitbit inside a special compartment in the center piece that was printed, making sure that it clicks into place properly when attached to another matching printed piece with corresponding snap-on capabilities. My setup features a 4-cord core created by braiding strands using the Cobra technique and has a braid outside on the bottom near the wrist band - there's also another option to put center braid cores underneath for a more centered but bulkier fit that complicates battery replacement.
